Benjamin Moore

Fondant

AF-255

Fondant is a pale off-white with a subtle peach undertone that adds warmth without strong color presence. With an LRV of 84.09, it reflects significant light and works well in spaces requiring brightness, such as living rooms, bedrooms, or kitchens. The peach cast is mild enough to function as a near-neutral in most applications.

This color pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Cloud Cover, Pale Moon, Kendall Charcoal, and Hale Navy, supporting both monochromatic schemes and darker accent combinations.
